Description
A 7-year study was conducted with Holstein-Friesian cows to determine responses to different levels of nitrogen and phosphorus fertiliser applied to Gatton panic (Panicum maximum cv. Gatton) pastures. This study was used to develop relationships between milk yield, pasture and diet botanical components. Multiple regression analysis revealed there was: a negative relation between stem yield (SI) on offer in summer (S) and milk yield but a positive association with leaf yield (L) on offer in summer and green dry matter .GDM in autumn (A),, MY = 2279.0+0.529 LS-0.246 StS+0.324 GDMA _(R2 = 0.66; P
